All the Jimmy Fallon fans out there, you can fasten your seat belts, it’s time to take the show for a never-before ride experience. Starting April 6, 2017, the host from NBC’s most popular TV program “The Tonight Show” is inviting you for an amazing wild race that takes you through the familiar landmarks and smell of the New York City pizzeria as well. Once inside Studio 6B it’s all you versus the host – Jimmy Fallon, both racing through the streets and skies of The Big Apple. On-board the ride you go twisting, turning and laughing. You pass through Manhattans and even encounter the deepest subways, hover over the skyscrapers and down into the waters of the East River.

The one of a kind Universal ride attraction – Race through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon is taking you right into the world of The Tonight Show, where you race against the host himself in the streets of New York City. The adventure starts even before the actual ride begins. Guests are greeted with exciting memorabilia, including attractive belongings of the past hosts and famous props of the program. The atmosphere inside is such that you will enjoy every bit of the fun that the laugh-filled late night program has to offer.

The décor of 30 Rock in the waiting area and lobby makes you feel like you are right there on the floors of the unique landmark. Moreover, the wait before entering Studio 6B is quite an entertaining one. In the company of favorite characters from the show such as the Ragtime Gals barbershop quartet and Hashtag the Panda it can’t get better. During the wait guests can also try a hand with interactive games based on Jimmy’s popular routines, and enjoy video clips from the show as well.

Race through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon comes in place of the outdated Universal Orlando attraction, namely – Twister: Ride It Out. The new motion simulator ride is seen as another in the line of Universal rides like Harry Potter and Spider-man. It offers an incredible mix of sights, sounds and smell of New York City. The new Fallon’s ride is also the first Universal attraction to offer a virtual line experience. Guest can book return times for the attraction through the official Universal app or at the park’s kiosks.

Jimmy is bringing the Tonight Show out to Universal for the inauguration of his new ride. He is hosting the Show from April 3 through April 6. So get the tickets as soon as you can. You can also visit our universal studios tickets page for discounts on general park admissions.

The one-of-a-kind indoor interactive fun and gaming attraction Disney Quest closes forever, making way for a brand new basketball experience, namely The NBA Experience at Walt Disney World Resort. This is something that fans are aware of since 2015 when Disney had revealed its intent for the first time to stop running Disney Quest and use the venue to create a unique NBA entertainment complex instead. Now with the recent announcement it becomes clear that Disney Quest is available for us until it closes forever on July 3, 2017

Located at Disney Springs West Side Neighborhood, Disney Quest has been a great source of entertainment for all the guests. The 5 story attraction houses some of the most unique gaming experiences, featuring fantasy adventure games, virtual reality and classic arcade games across four distinct play zones (Explore Zone, Score Zone, Create Zone and Replay Zone). There is something special for everyone on each floor of the landmark building. Among the many great Disney Quest highlights include a life-size game, CyberSpace Mountain, Mighty Ducks Pinball Slam, design-your-own-roller-coaster motion-simulator ride and many other arcade video games.

Since inception Disney Quest is considered as a landmark attraction that Disney Springs (previously Downtown Disney) area has to offer. However, it started to appear dated with time, and for many the big-time attraction fell victim to the constantly changing technological needs of the hour. There are others who think Disney Quest had lost its “wow” factor with time as well. Moreover, given the multi-year Disney Springs transformation program, and with more and more fresh and new venues popping up one after the other, it becomes a tough choice for Disney to continue with many of the older attractions in the area. It’s true that Disney Quest may cease to exist on July 3, 2017, but then it’s leaving for good. There are many new and incredible experiences waiting to take their turn, and the NBA Experience is definitely the perfect substitute to start with.

The NBA Experience at Disney Springs

The NBA Experience at Walt Disney World Resort is a never-before basketball-themed attraction, featuring hands on activities, high-tech immersive experiences, including a restaurant and a retail store. The new attraction will put you right in the middle of your favorite NBA actions. Officialticketcenter.com will bring to you more on this as and when Disney make further revelations, including the announcement of its opening.
